Olympics: Kaylee McKeown has produced a stunning swim to defend her Olympic 100m backstroke title and Australia has missed out on a women's rugby sevens medal in heartbreaking fashion.

The Australian made the turn in fourth, then pulled off a staggering comeback in the second lap to storm home in a surge described by Mat Thompson on Nine as “earth shattering”.
